Quick stopped 19 of 21 shots in the Kings overtime win over the Red Wings on Thursday. Quick has started to turn things around, winning two in a row while stopping 46 of 49 shots (.939 SV%). Those two games were against the Wild and Red Wings, who rank 26th and 31st in goal-scoring and today he faces a Vegas team that is averaging 2.85 goals per game (19th).
Quick allowed one goals on 28 shots in the Kings win over the Wild on Tuesday. The win snapped a five-game losing streak for Quick, who draws a friendly matchup vs. the Red Wings on Thursday. Quick has won 2-2-0 with a 3.00 GAA and .912 SV% in four home starts this season.

Quick surrendered three goals 37 shots in the Kings loss in Montreal on Saturday. Quick is in the middle of an ugly four-game losing streak, where he has allowed 17 goals on 133 shots (.872 SV%). A home matchup vs. the 23rd ranked offence could help him get back on track, but he allowed five goals on 27 shots in a 5-1 loss in his first game vs. Minnesota.

With Torey Krug out, Vaakanainen will play in his third career NHL game on Tuesday. The former first-round pick (No.18 overall in 2017) didn't register a point in two NHL games last year and had two assists in 15 AHL games before being called-up on Monday.
Zibanejad will not play Tuesday vs. the Penguins and will not travel to Florida, so the earliest he could return is next Wednesday vs. the Capitals. The Rangers have for 4-1-1 in the first six games without Zibanejad and Filip Chytil has four goals on 12 shots since being called up to replace Zibanejad.
Tore Krug was hurt late in Sunday's game vs. the Flyers, so Vaakanainen's call-up suggests that Krug will miss Tuesday's game and the 20-year-old defenseman will make his season debut. Vaakanainen was a first-round pick (No.18 overall) in 2017 and has two assists in 15 games with Providence this season.
Quick allowed three goals on 23 shots in the Kings win in Toronto on Tuesday. The loss extended his losing streak to four games and nothing has gone right in those games. Quick has posted a 4.34 GAA and .872 SV% and his teammates have scored just 1.75 goals per game for him. Now he's got a road matchup in Montreal, where the Habs have won three of their last four.

Trocheck has missed the last seven games with a lower-body issue but the plan is for him to play on Saturday. Head coach Joel Quenneville told reporters that Trocheck "looked good" following Friday's practice, so expect an update a few hours prior to tomorrow's afternoon tilt. Trocheck has one goal and five assists (six points) in eight games this season.
Trocheck will miss his seventh straight game on Thursday and remains day-to-day, which makes him questionable for their Saturday/Sunday back-to-back.
Zibanejad will not play Wednesday vs. the Red Wings but also won't travel to Carolina for Thursday's game. Look for Zibanejad to return on Sunday at the earliest. Ryan Strome will continue to centre the first line with Zibanefad sidelined.
Quick surrendered five goals on 49 shots in the Kings loss to the Canucks on Wednesday. Quick has lost three straight starts while allowed a combined 14 goals on 110 shots (.873 SV%). Quick has been under siege as of late and a matchup with the Maple Leafs who are seventh in goals (3.47 GF/gm) and 13th in shots (32.1/gm) is a recipe for disaster for Quick.
Brodzinski is dealing with a shoulder injury so they swap him for Lean Bergmann to help the Sharks in the immediate future. Brodzinski has two goals and one assist in three games with the Barracuda this season.
Zibanejad will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury on Monday but is "making progress," according to head coach David Quinn. "He had another good day today," Quinn told reporters. "He's still day-to-day" and "we'll see" when asked about a potential return on Wednesday. The Rangers have played well without Zibanejad, thanks to new-found chemistry between Artemi Panarin and Ryan Strome and the impressive play from Filip Chytil, who was recalled from Hartford (AHL).
Brodzinski has appeared in just two games this season but will replace Dylan Gambrell, who will miss at least two games with an upper-body injury. Brodzinski has just 11 points (6G / 5A) in 56 career NHL games.
The Rangers will stick with the same lineup on Saturday, which means Zibanejad will miss his second straight game. Rangers' head coach David Quinn announced that Zibanejad's injury is in the "neck area." Filip Chytil played very well in Zibanejad's absence, so expect them to make sure he's 100 percent before re-inserting him into the lineup in a November game.
